I think if Barkley is there, that is great trade bait. No way we take a WR in the first unless we trade back to the second half of the first round.

I dont think you would have to. I think in either the first or second he will trade back to pick up the 3rd round pick he has lost. There are probably 10 WRs out there worth drafting, will have plenty of choices in the second or even 3rd if he recovers one. If you look at first rounders in the last 5 drafts, there are just as many later picks that have been successful. We will find two in FA and draft one in later rounds.

He turns 20 sometime this year. A baby that Fangio can nurture. I would be okay with him, Davenport or even Q. Nelson as out top pick.

We simply have to , excluding Barkley. No Wrs have a top half of the first rating.Fitzpatrick, Nelson, Chubb, Edmunds is the one that has my attention. He's 19 years old right now. Fangio would grow him into a star.

It's maybe one team less,, one player less. No big deal

When we take a 20th ranked player, not sure that is a win win. The first 2 picks , Wrs, will never happen but everyone has there dreams. Every team slots values different but no WR willk be taken in the top 1/2 of the draft.

I agree , I forgot what site it was but they actually picked 24 right first rounders but just not the teams they went to. It's all for fun.

As we project, I keep,seeing Crosby drafted in the 2 nd round. He won't last until 4th.

The only 2 besides Nate Solder rated high was Norvell and Pugh. I think they will get a lot of money from their existing teams to stay. The rest I have never seen rated very high. (Massey again?)

Teams takes risks on QBs in every draft. He has done enough to warrant taking a chance. To many teams with QB needs.

I seen a scenario where there they draft Q Nelson and play him at RT his first year and keep Sitton one more year. If Longs injuries get the best you have Morgan waiting in the wings. Then address RT next year.

I think if they draft him they will keep Young and resign Houston while he learns the NFL.

Sometimes they just grow into it as they mature. A riser in talent and fits in someone's scheme.

He is getting a lot of press and is listed high on many sites. I think we would be better grabbing Davenport if available than Edmunds.

You need to realize there is very little on the Oline in free agency. It will change the draft from a position stand point. Has to be draft for OL.

These are things that happen we can not foresee. If they couldn't renegotiate his deal , we should jump on that.

A name to throw in the ring that doesn't get much press but lead the big 10 in tackles is Tegrey Scales. 6' 230. He would have put on 15 lbs to play in the middle but the dude can run.

All the combine does is bring attention to being athletic. I think tape is the best way to determine value. Also their attitude and do they love football, work hard. Combine is the last of the analysis.

I rarely see any Wrs rated top 15. No way , unless we move down are we taking Wrs in the first round. I can see them reaching a few spots but not for a WR. Pass rusher seems to about that valve in top 10.

A couple more names I am starting to see consistently are Tremaine Edwards /olb and Denzel Ward/cb. Also Marcus Davenport seems to be moving up fast. The combine should sort out the higher regarded players.

I think we can all agree the Bears will not be taking RB and QB with our first pick. So here is a ongoing list of the top 10 minus those positions. M. Fitzpatrick B. Chubbs Q. Nelson These are the three I consistently see in the top 10 as I view a ton of moch drafts. I will expand this as I view more regularly on players in the top 10.

I think it's IMO that he guarantees it. White is still under contract, so he is for sure coming back. Merideth is a RFA so odds are he is coming back because Bears have control and can get him back with a cheap contract. So I think he is correct. . We have to see what Nagy sees in the evaluation but several will be offered contracts. I suspect they give prove it contracts and cut people before the regular season starts. Just throwing lots of darts at the problem.

I listen to something interesting, HH was asked about how much rebuild would need to be done during the coaches pree conference. He thinks that both OTs will do great under system. I can see the potential for Leno but he thinks Massie will do well. Does that change the first two rounds for the draft?

I think it is hard to access what they look for in traits for W rs. I have thought fast or quickness was priority but not sure. I think Wright is in play but they may go for Wilson who played the slot in KC and is more familiar with Nagy and younger. White may ideally fit the profile but who knows what to expect out of him. He may be the surprise and thrive. Otherwise either Inman or Merideth but not both. I would say they bring in 2 FAs and draft one. Does anyone think Tanner Gentry may have more contributions under this regime?

I get what your saying but it makes sense to have realistic projection in my opinion. It's like when people say let's go sign the top 4 free agents, sure that sounds great but would never happen. It's like projecting a draft and listings 1st round picks in the 4th, it would be great but would never happen.
